CT a művészetben

Experimental artists are consciously looking for possibilities to make the program fail. So they play against the apparatus. Tomography is a process of imaging by sec-tions, done through the use of any kind of penetrating wave. The normal use for Computer Topography is in medical imag-ing of the human body as object. The artist makes “improper use” of this system through placing different objects in the tomograph. The photographic images produced can be then animated, creating unexpected results in the form of abstract moving images. Metal causes disturbances to the magnetic field. It is considered to be a failure in CT-technology. At the same time, the aesthetic aspect of such disturbances prove interesting to the artist. She/He does not attempt to eliminate the disturbance, but on the contrary strengthen it. Stepping artefacts are inherent in this process. It can be a unique voy-age; peeping into the inner workings of different technical in-struments/apparatuses in an aesthetic and informative way. The CT scans of the author were taken at the Health Center of Kaposvar University in Hungary.
